You shopkeeper is still very stammering for the man in Chinese clothes, after chatting for a while, the two of them did not say anything about business, this time the man in Chinese clothes came to him, it was just passing here, and because of the warm invitation of the shopkeeper You, so the man in Chinese clothes reluctantly came to eat with him, it is considered to know him first, if there is any business in the future, the man in Chinese clothes can take care of the shopkeeper.

The man in Chinese clothes is surnamed Dong, his name is Dong Chao, Dong Chao's family is a rich man, his father used to be an official, served as a assassin in other places, saved a lot of family wealth, and then returned to his hometown Yanzhou, where he retired for the elderly.

Dong Chao's father not only can be an official, but also can do business, his family not only has a large number of fields, but also a variety of workshops, each workshop is very profitable, and Dong Chao is in charge of the workshop is the dyeing room, which is a workshop specializing in dyeing cloth colors.

Dong Chao's workshop dyes almost one-third of the cloth in the entire Yanzhou, which is a big business, and even sometimes, when the government needs to dye the cloth, it will also find their workshop, so that Dong Chao's business is of course easy to do.

Dong Chao's father had a history of assassination, and now he is a rich man, so he thinks very highly of himself and is very stylish.

However, Dong Chao's body is not very healthy, because he is too obese, so there are no major problems, small problems continue, of course, whether small problems will turn into big problems, no one can say for sure, at least now the small problems have not turned into big problems.

Dong Chao's wife has died, and he has no children, so Dong Chao married a second wife, which is considered to be a house, but this house filling also died not long after, and he also did not leave any children.

Although Dong Chao is very arrogant and not in good health, his character is still good, he married two wives before and after, but he has never married a concubine, and he has not had any unclear relationship with the maid in the family.

Whether this is related to his physical condition, of course, there is no way to verify, and he naturally will not talk about this kind of thing to outsiders.

Dong Chao came to Qianfeng County this time to discuss business, and he was about to return to Yanzhou after the business was negotiated, but he was seen by the shopkeeper You, and he had to invite Dong Chao to dinner.

Shopkeeper You wants to have a relationship with Dong Chao, of course, from a business point of view, this is understandable, because Shopkeeper You sells cloth in his house, so Dong Chao gave this face, maybe the two will do business in the future, so he came to Shopkeeper You's house for a banquet.

During the meal, Dong Chao said: "The county commander of Guixian County is a very discerning person, I have heard my father talk about him, my father has a lot of friends in Chang'an, I heard some time ago, this Li County Commander is very background, and his background is in the palace, this is a great person, it is estimated that he will be able to do a term in Guixian, and then he will be promoted, but unfortunately I have no way, otherwise I really want to meet the county commander of Guixian, maybe I can make a good fate!" ”

You shopkeeper said: "Our county's Li County Order, today also held an exam, people on the street are talking, all call this exam a small scientific examination, it is said that the young talents in the county will go to take the exam, in this way, when the exam is over, they are ranked, whose knowledge is good, whose knowledge is not good, then it will be clear at a glance!" ”

Dong Chao said: "When it comes to reading and making articles, when I was a teenager, I also thought about participating in the scientific examination, but at that time, there were too many strong people, I didn't get in, and when I went to the exam for the second time, I didn't pass the exam, so I didn't plan to take the exam for the third time. ”

Dong Chao is a son of an official eunuch, he must be studying and hoping to be an official.

However, because his father had gone home to retire at that time, he was no longer a person in the officialdom, although there were still some connections, but if he wanted to make a name for himself in Chang'an and take the Jinshi examination, it was basically impossible, he did not have such a high level after all.

Dong Chao is also very self-aware, knowing that he may not be able to enter the official career, so he simply went home to do business, and the business did quite well, but he failed to pass the scientific examination, which is also a pity, he didn't pretend not to care, there are regrets are regrets, and he said it bluntly!

Shopkeeper You said happily: "It turns out that Shopkeeper Dong has also participated in the scientific examination, this experience is extremely valuable, the youngest son is studying, he also wants to participate in the scientific examination in the future, please sir, you can guide him one or two!" ”

Dong Chao said: "If you want to give some advice, this is actually very simple, but if your son wants to participate in the scientific examination in the future and can pass the examination, then just relying on the guidance of others is actually not very useful, it really needs to be smart, and have a good memory, and the most important thing is to be lucky, these three things are indispensable!" ”

Shopkeeper You hurriedly said: "If Shopkeeper Dong doesn't say it, I really don't know about it, then I have to let my youngest son come out to meet you, Mr." ”

Shopkeeper You asked the servant to go to the backyard and called his youngest son, and the servant went at once.

After the servant arrived in the backyard, he happened to see the little maid and the little master chatting and laughing, so the servant said: "Young master, the master asked you to go to the front, today's distinguished guest is a person who has participated in the scientific examination, the master asked you to go over, so that the distinguished guest can give you some pointers, so that you can also participate in the scientific examination in the future!" ”

The young master of the You family is called You Baoji, and the word machine in the name refers to the loom.

You Baoji is a very obedient child, when he heard the servant say this, he stood up, straightened his clothes, and was about to go to the front yard to meet Dong Chao.

But the little maid listened to it next to her, but she was very surprised, could it be that the fat man in front of her had participated in a real scientific examination?

So she asked the servant, and the servant said: "Of course I am participating in the real scientific examination, and I am going to Chang'an to take the exam, do you think it is the kind of exam like the one in our county?" That's a different story! ”

After speaking, the servant followed the treasure machine to the front.

The little maid hurriedly ran back to the embroidery building, and she said to You Baosu: "Miss, the distinguished guest who came in front of her has participated in the real scientific examination, and he is the kind of great talent who went to Chang'an for the scientific examination!" ”

You Baosu hurriedly asked, "Is he a young talent, is he good-looking?" ”

The little maid hesitated, shook her head and said: "The slave doesn't think he is a young talent, but he should be regarded as a very powerful reader, this is true, the master also called our young master to the front and asked him to give him some pointers!" ”

After You Baosu heard this, she was a little moved, she said: "What is the young talent like, I really want to go and see, let's go to the front and take a sneak look!" ”

The little maid said, "Miss, I'm afraid you'll regret it!" ”

You Baosu said: "It's just to take a look, what do you regret or not regret!" ”

She walked out of the embroidery building with the little girl and ran to the front to see the so-called young talent.

When she got to the front, You Baosu stood outside the window and secretly looked inside, and she happened to see Dong Chao talking to her younger brother.

After seeing Dong Chao's figure and appearance, You Baosu immediately regretted it, but she really couldn't imagine that a young talent who could go to Chang'an to participate in the scientific examination would grow like this, she was very disappointed.

She was so disappointed that she didn't pay much attention, and accidentally showed her face from behind the window.

Coincidentally, Dong Chao, who was sitting inside, saw her!
